Some clothes & fabric accessories from DollyTeria that have been sitting here for a month now. I’m so behind. But this is a really fun batch of stuff!

First pic – “mohair sweater” in beige, from Aprism. It’s gorgeous. It’s a dream item for V, really. And… after just running that blog post through Google Translate, I realize that I’ve laid it down backwards, since the tag should be on the left. Whoops. It’s more or less reversible, but now I feel silly. XD

Second pic – brown knit turtleneck/tunic. I’m pretty sure it’s by Maricotinha, but I’ll have to trawl through their blog posts to confirm. As with many of their works, similar shapes and fabrics show up again and again, so it’s tough to find one piece among several look-alikes. At any rate, it’s lovely and a bit billowy, which makes it look odd and rumpled when flat.

Third pic – gray & white striped turtleneck, possibly this one from tres*jolie. I haven’t decided if I’m going to keep it yet. The neutral colors mean it would work well for layering, but I don’t have anything else from this dealer. It’s also a bit oddly constructed, in that there’s a seam up the center back, but no closure? There are side seams, too, so having the center back seam without an opening of any kind is unnecessary… I’m not sure what the purpose of that construction would be. It’s weird. ?_?

Fourth pic – reversible chiffon skirt by Aprism, in black. The fabric has a really neat silky feel to it. As usual, the photos on DollyTeria were terrible and difficult to decipher… it took a lot of squinting at the listing to determine that the hem and waistband matched up with Aprism’s pics. I did get lucky with my guess, though; it’s clearly tagged inside. <3

Fifth pic – fantastic hat also by Aprism. This style shows up a few times in various posts on their blogs, as part of sets and such, but never as a stand-alone piece. I’m not sure if it was offered separately, or if the rest of its outfit set is still floating around somewhere. It’s a shape I really love, so I hope to put it to good use, both for the boys and V, I think.

Sixth pic – it’s a ribbed knit hat by +d! But it’s different than the other ribbed knit hats I have from +d, so it’s okay, heh. It has a distinctly unique shape compared to the others, and the brim is wired so that it can be bent up or down as desired. Will Jer wear it the most? Probably. XD

Seventh pic – green “military beret” by KABA. Mine doesn’t have a pin, but that’s fine; it looks cute plain, but I might be able to come up with some pins to use with it anyway. Although the design is fairly simplistic, it has such a professional feel to it. KABA’s stuff is like that, I guess! Since it’s a military look, it’ll probably go to Jer, too.

Eighth pic – another dream item from Aprism + Citron. I’d been hoping against hope that, since the key necklace had shown up in an earlier listing, its matching scarf would eventually, too, and sure enough, it did. I just adore the multiple fabrics used, plus the sewn label. If I could get another and choose the color, it’d be the pink version, but honestly, I would love to have them all.

Ninth pic – textured scarf by CoCoon. It’s a fairly early piece (but not so early as to be a pigeon:milk one), and it was sold as part of this “bohemian set”. I’d love to get the other parts sometime! In the meantime, I’ll just mix and match it however I please. XD

Tenth pic – two other scarves by unknown dealers. They’re both made with neat fabrics and are in some interesting colors, but I have no idea where they came from. (They were listed with the A+C scarf.) The pink one strikes me as vaguely familiar, but I can’t place it. Maybe you recognize it?

And that’s that! My favorites are the Aprism + Citron pieces, obviously, but it should be fun to play with these in outfits. <3

Still trying to get caught up with recent hauls! This group is kind of all over the place. XD

First pic – cream knit hooded cardigan by maricotinha. So cozy! Their work is sometimes hard to find a good blog post for – they didn’t always document “for sale” items clearly, and they used a lot of their own work for personal photos. (Which is normal, obviously, but their personal and work photos are mixed together and it’s not always obvious which is intended to be which.) Anyway. This is gonna be great for cooler weather.

Second pic – also a cardigan by maricotinha, in a delicious dark charcoal gray. (I thought I had the link to a blog post about it, but I’ve lost it… I’ll edit this once i find it again.) I don’t usually go this dark for V, but it’s such a perfect shape and material and color that I can’t wait to play with it. ;o; <3

Third pic – a cool purple top, again by maricotinha. I’m a sucker for this color, as you might know. XD

Fourth pic – black and white striped turtleneck, yes, by maricotinha. This came paired with the Romantica* top from my previous clothing post, and I wasn’t sure who it was by at first. I came across the blog post randomly… and it’s like the only time it shows up in their photos? Like I said, their work can be hard to track. I like the decorative buttons at the neck. (Also, I WANT that mustard yellow top. Cry!)

Fifth pic – super basic turtleneck by maricotinha. I think it’s this old style, which came in a couple different shades? They made tons of different turtlenecks with various materials and types of finishing. This will come in handy for layering.

Sixth pic – elegant pleated skirtby+d. I bought it reflexively because it’s +d, but now I wonder if it’s a little too glamorous for V? I’ll have to try it out on her and see if I can make it work. Is she maybe too mousy for it? Hm.

Seventh pic – neat long military-green jacket, also by +d. Lots of buttons and details! I bought this specifically for Jer, because I think the pseudo-army look suits him.

Eighth pic – plaid button-down top by Fuga Lupinus. It’s kind of… blueberry? I feel like you don’t see this kind of color much in doll clothes, or maybe I’m just looking in the wrong places. It’s too blue to be purple and not purple enough to be blue… should be fun to mess around with in outfits, probably for Jer or Dom.

Ninth pic – ridiculousfloofy gauze top by KABA. I don’t know quite what I’m going to do with it yet. I love how it looks on their Rigel, though, and I kinda want to mimic that outfit style for Joce. He’d look cute like that, right?

Tenth pic – another velvet*paw kitty hat+scarf for my collection! This one is the “milk tea x bitter” color combo. The fur is a different type from my other two, so it’ll make for a nice change. These things are just too cute. :o~~

Onward~

So! Back in August, I won a ridiculous(andridiculously cool) lot of stuff that, it turned out, I was able to (fairly confidently) trace back to a particular doll blog, due to the specific mix of dealer pieces they’d owned and photographed. It was pretty neat! When I won the auction, I had been under the impression that they were selling the last of their doll collection after getting out the hobby years ago.

Only… it was just the beginning. XD

Recently, they added several more listings with tons of additional things I was hankering after, which also provided further evidence that I had the provenance correct. Knowing who the previous owner was helped immensely in identifying some of the items from the listings! It was also lots of fun to see how they had styled and used the pieces, plus there’s just the good ol’ dash of nostalgia.

Anyway. So I got a big (and I mean big; it was nearly a doll-sized box full of clothes) package from my proxy the other day. The previous owner was a collector after my own heart. ;o; <3

First pic – gorgeous Lush Berry dress, still in package. This is one of their classic styles, and I’ve been eyeing it every time one came up for sale. The Y!J listing photos weren’t comprehensive, so I guessed that there was a Lush Berry item in there based on the package design, but I didn’t realize it’d be this one. It was a lucky surprise!

Second pic – also a fun surprise, this is a simple but beautiful dress from Tremolo (I think they went through a few name changes). I’ve been trying to get some of their stuff for ages! This was separated from the rest of the set, sadly, but I’m grateful to have it at all.

Third pic – WORKSHOP dress/top in black, with a very interesting texture. I don’t know if I’ll use it much – maybe for Joce? – or even end up keeping it, but it is neat nonetheless.

Fourth pic – also by WORKSHOP, a lovely little white blouse with lace and pintucks. It could use some help to get it to lay flat after being in storage forever, but it’s quite cute. As it’s not tagged, this is one of the instances where being familiar with the previous owner’s blog came in handy!

Fifth pic – another surprise; this top turned out to be from a your my baby set. I would love to own the rest of it someday! This dealer hasn’t released many things over the years, so it’s wonderful to have another of their pieces.

Sixth pic – plaid skirt by Maricotinha. I am a sucker for plaid, I am a sucker for purple, and I am a sucker for Maricotinha’s works. So. Yeah. It’ll be on V eventually! XD

Seventh pic – a grail item! This reversible balloon skirt by Aprism has been a dream of mine for over a decade. It’s so soft and floofy and adorable, and I can’t believe I finally own it. For some reason, I think of this as very emblematic of Aprism (+ Citron). <3

Eighth pic – yes, it’s another velvet*paw kitty hat+scarf. Since it’s “ash” gray this time, that makes it totally different from the other… three… that I own. Right? Right. And anyway, it was part of a lot and I wasn’t going to say “no” to it once I had it in my hands, so there it is.

This group of things were really all over the place, huh? The second part is a little more cohesive, so stay tuned~
